In this early day of the United States of America, it wasn’t easy from one town or city to . There were no trains. Of course, and the roads were very poor. If a man wanted to go from one place to another, he often a horse. And because the roads were bad, he sometimes got very dirty.
One day a man came into a hotel in a little country town. His clothes were very dirty, and he looked very tried. “ Do you have a room here me?” he asked. The hotel man at the desk thought, “ I don’t want this man here. He’s too dirty for my hotel.” “ I’m sorry.” He said. “ We don’t have any rooms. There’s a small hotel down the street. You can ask there.”
Soon an important-looking man having fine clothes came into the hotel. “ I’ve come to see Mr. Jefferson,” he said. “ Mr. Jefferson?” “ Yes, Vice-president(副总统) Jefferson. We planned to meet here.” The hotel man was “ A man dirty clothes was just here. I thought he was a farmer, and sent him to another hotel a few minutes ago.” The hotel man the Vice-president’s room in the other hotel.
“ Oh, Mr. Jefferson,” he said, “ I’m very sorry I thought you were a farmer. We have a room at our hotel. Please come back.”

答案：
(答案→)C
解析：这篇短文主要讲述了过去美国由于交通不便，人们主要是骑马出行，这经常使得衣服沾满泥水。一天，美国副总统杰佛逊来到一家乡村小旅店，由于衣服脏而被不知情的店主拒绝入住，后来在旁人的指点下，店主慌忙请其入住，但这种以貌取人的做法自然是于事无补。
【小题1】考查动词及语境的理解。It’s+adj.+to do sth是一个固定句型，表示做某事是怎样的。it wasn’t easy to get from one town or city to …(从一个城市到另一个城市是不容易的），故选C。
【小题2】考查不定代词及语境的理解。Other：别的、其他的，the other：（两者中的）另一个，another：（泛指）另一、又一，不与定冠词连用。根据上下文可知，这里是指美国任何一个不确定的城。故选C。
【小题3】考查动词及语境的理解。“骑马”应表达为ride a horse。由于是叙述过去的事情，时态应用过去时，故选C。
【小题4】考查介词及语境的理解。for常用来指“为……准备”、“适合……”，to/at 表示动作指向的对象,of表示部分或从属关系。根据语境，这里应该是指“有没有一个为我准备（适合我）的房间”。故应选A。
【小题5】考查固定短语及语境的理解。want sb to do sths是固定用法，表示“想要某人做某事”，在文中，店主不想让“这个人”住在这里。故选B。
【小题6】考查副词及语境的理解。本句暗含比较意义，即：我们没有更多的房间了。more 是many,much是比较级。not …any more表示“不再……”，故选D。
【小题7】考查形容词及语境的理解。happy：高兴的，开心的，sad：悲伤的、伤心的，afraid：害怕的，lucky：幸运的。根据语境，当店主得知自己拒绝的是副总统时，当然表现出害怕的神情。故选C。
【小题8】考查介词及语境的理解。根据语境，这里应该是指“穿着脏衣服的”，在所给的词中，in表示穿着的状态。故应选B。
【小题9】考查动词及语境的理解。 hurry是不及物动词，不可直接接宾语，如要接宾语，要借助介词to,即hurry to +地点，表示“匆忙向某地走去”。故应选C。
【小题10】考查副及语境的理解。too,also,either 均表示“也”的意思，但用法不同。too用于肯定句末，also用于句中，either用于否定句末。根据语境，如果没有适合农民的房间，也就没有适合副总统的房间了。故应选D。
